Things I Loved About Fleabag (2016):
The careful balance of spiralling and sincerity that keeps you rooting for resolution and relief, despite the show intentionally framing itself around grief
The way that it is clear based on the way that they talk about her that Fleabag is a great deal like her mother (her off-colour jokes, her charisma, even hints of difficult friendships through the Godmother) but they don't have anyone make that comparison until the last episode of S2, with, "You are the way you are because of [your mother]" and the look of surprise on Fleabag's face when she hears it
"Don't make me an optimist; you will ruin my life," being such a telling line, because as you fall in love with the Priest, and Fleabag, you want to believe that things will work themselves out
The love in Claire's line to Fleabag, "The only person I'd run through an airport for is you," and the delightful contrary optimism of her deciding to go to the airport anyway
The revelation that Boo had offered to take Fleabag's love for her mother, intertwining both losses
The way that the Priest not only breaks through the carefully constructed narrative relationship that Fleabag has with the viewer, but also himself directly looks toward the audience on a separate beat as he tries to understand her more ("You don't like answering questions, do you?")
The entire sequence of the last few scenes, "Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope," to "I love you." "It'll pass," to Fleabag walking around with a statue that is, in some ways now, a physical representation of the love she is carrying around. Because while the show is about grief, and love, it doesn't feel like it is asking you to overcome those things, but to learn to live with them while moving forward

roza’s current iteration of the old light ball he first made in his darker vigil days. this one is a combination of necromancy and mesmer magic, adopted from kasmeer.
it’s not that cold anymore, and the mesmer aspect makes it far from what it used to be, but he is fond of it.

me pausing every 2 minutes on the GQ MOTY Breakthrough Actor interview like,
i'm supposed to pay attention to whatever deep intellectual thing either of them are saying when Mile's tiddies are just out here boobily breasting??
THE SUBTITLES ARE RIGHT NEXT TO HIS BOOBS AND I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO STARE AT THEM!?
the videographer straight up pans down to his chest at one point while he's talking like yes, you are staring, we are all staring...
👁👄👁 🆗
